NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The New York Times today announced that new Times digital subscribers
who sign up for a one-year All
Access subscription will receive free, unlimited access to Spotify
Premium. The special offer requires a one-year commitment and is
available for a limited time to U.S. residents who are not current
subscribers to The New York Times or Spotify Premium. The subscription
is available at nytimes.com/spotify.

For $5 a week, subscribers will receive unlimited access to NYTimes.com
and its mobile apps, plus unlimited access to Spotify’s catalogue of
more than 30 million songs and two billion playlists. The offer is
designed to enrich the lives of subscribers by providing access to all
the news and all the music they need to stay informed and be entertained
throughout their day.

“At The Times we are not only dedicated to helping our readers
understand the rapidly changing world around them, but also to helping
them live better lives,” said Meredith Kopit Levien, executive vice
president and chief revenue officer, The New York Times Company. “News
and music have gone hand-in-hand since the early days of radio, and
because personalization and curation are central to what both The Times
and Spotify do so well, we created an experience for Times readers that
gives them access to all the news and all the music that they want in
one premier subscription.”

In addition to unlimited access to Times content and Spotify’s entire
music library, the subscription also includes all of the benefits of
Times Insider, including: exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into how
The Times works via the Insider
page on NYTimes.com, podcasts and live events; access to T Books, The
Times’s library of more than 120 e-books curated by Times editors plus

With an annual retail value of $120, a Spotify Premium subscription
offers instant, on-demand access to more than 30 million songs at the
highest audio quality – with zero ads. Spotify Premium subscribers can
download music to the app so it’s available to play even without an
internet connection.

Music fans can also stay on top of the latest in pop and jazz with
reviews, interviews, podcasts and more from Times music critics by
